WAXING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 5, 1909.

Patented Jan. 11, 1910. Serial No. 476,228.

To all who/m it may concern.'

Be it known that I, HERMAN F. HAUSS- MANN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements v inTaxing Devices, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvements in waxing devices; moreparticularly it has reference to an envelop pad containing wax suitablefor ironing purposes.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view of oneapplication of my invention, Fig. 2 is a similar view showing theenvelop fastened in its closed position, Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig.l, Fig. l a cross section on the line 4% of Fig. 2, Fig. 5 a plan viewof the waxing material, Fig. (5 a. similar view of the card board uponwhich the wax' is attached, Fig. 7 a cross sectional view of Fig. t5 onthe line 7 7, and Fig. 8 is an end view of Fig. 5.

8 is a piece of porous material such as shaker flannel thoroughlysaturated with preferably pure wax, paraffin or the like which isallowed to dry and harden.

l0 is a piece of card board or other suitable backing through which thefastener 9 is forced.

ll is an envelop of linen or other suitable material through which theends of the fastener 9 are projected and after the waxing material hasbeen secured to the backing l0 and introduced therein, the ends of thefastener 9 are passed through the four flaps l of the envelop asillustrated in Fig. 2 and turned back, securely fastening the same. Asuitable label such as l2 is then pasted or otherwise fastened over thesame so that the fastener 9 is entirely concealed and the pad is readyfor shipment and use. After the wax has melted it is an easy matter totear open the label, lift the flap off the fastener, withdraw theiiannel, and resaturate the same, thereby renewing the life of the pad.The same is of course reintroduced into the envelop and the flapfastened down by the pin in the usual manner.

In using the device the envelop is placed upon the ironing board, smoothside up, and the iron passed over same in the usual manner.

Of course it will be understood that various modifications may be madeWithout departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

In a waxing device, a porous body impregnated with wax, a fastener uponsaid body, a reinforcing member upon said body, and penetrated by saidfastener, and an envelop provided with flaps penetrated by saidfastener, said body and member being securely held in said envelop bysaid fastener.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
